RUINED: Sarah and John Wenham, both 35, had their wedding ruined when the ceiling collapsed

Couple Sarah and John Wenham escaped death when the nightmare collapse trapped the lovebirds and their 24 guests under rubble during the rehearsal dinner at the luxury wedding in Cuba.

Hubby John noticed the shabby ceiling of the Sol Rio De Luna y Mares Hotel begin to buckle under its own weight, but could not warn his bride-to-be and guests to run for cover before it collapsed completely.

Is this the wedding from HELL?

Sarah and John Wenham from Gravesend in Kent suffered the wedding from hell after the roof collapsed during a rehearsal for the £28,000 wedding in Cuba.

Detritus hangs down from the ceiling.

“We couldn't enjoy it and we just wanted to go home.”

John Wenham, 35

Dreams of the perfect getaway wedding - months in the planning and costing the couple their life savings - were destroyed in seconds.

Brokenhearted bride Sarah, 35, said: "We were just about to meet with hotel staff to discuss our wedding plans in the lobby, when John pointed out the ceiling as it started to move."

Mum-of-two Sarah was left with a black eye and a gash on her face that needed ten stitches as she desperately tried to protect her two daughters, aged nine and two.

Project manager John suffered two rib fractures, terrible bruising and damage to his spleen.
